That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 10, 2023

The farm women found themselves stuck when the horse abandoned the cart for a more interesting life in Paris.

Speaking of Oscar, I see his pants and shirt, but where is he?

Harvesting potatoes – it’s like digging for gold, but not as lucrative.

The men have bets on which of these lady can haul the most potatoes.

he is a giggalo and these are the old bags he has to take out…

/// Peasant Harvesters filled burlap sacks

with potatoes then piled them in stacks

on a tumbrel they rolled

to where tubers were sold.

(Being French, they would fry them for snacks.)

Bah, bah blacksheep, What?, just two bags?

Hoers in the afternoon. Getting ready to go home and dress for the night shift.

Ivan Spudd thought the clever brand name for his potatoes —“Ivan-Hoe” — would not cause controversy. But he got a lot of flak from the Idaho Potato Growers Association as well as from admirers of Sir Walter Scott. And his company stock dropped like a sack of … you guessed it. And his female employees didn’t like the vulgar name they were called, either.

Why he didn’t choose the obvious name for his product from the beginning is the subject of an appealing posting on YouTuber.

“C’mon ladies – St. Paddy’s day is only a week away. People need spuds with their corned beef and cabbage.”

I’m only here for the art.

This year’s movies were made with wood, hay, and stubble. None worth leaving our home.

$100,000+. EACH.

Oscar told me he would be waiting for behind a bale of cotton……….

Margaret hadn’t believed the old men who told her that failing to rake the leaves off the lawn until Spring would kill the grass. She believed them now.

Had she misunderstood? Made some sort of misjudgment? No, no, Marisa was sure that this was how all the big YouTubers had started out.

“Tote that barge, lift that baleGet a little drunk and you land in jail”

Sacks, Fifth Field.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3094 (March 10, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. First work by this artist used here.

LOL!!

Red Carpet exclusive dresses waiting for fittings to the rich and powerful. The small sacks have stunning over-the-top jewelry selections (Is potato).

It was a good year for rocks. They brought in a bumper crop.

La Recolte de pommes de terre

And the Oscar for “Outstanding in her Field” goes to…

after digging up the potatoes, the wives replaced the holds with their husbands and everyone was happy, except maybe the husbands, but they couldn’t say anything.

/// For upscale Oscar goodies she hunts.

She can’t find them, and feels like a dunce.

These big bags hold no merch;

she’d do better to search

Everything Everywhere All at Once.

I really don’t understand the reasoning behind award shows swag bags

How to get 2 bags of groceries for under a hundred dollars.
